| The Tragedy of Man (Animation) | comment |
Az ember tragédiája is an animated epic by Hungarian director Marcell Jankovics, that had been in production for over two decades before he finally completed it in 2011. It is based on a (nearly impossible to perform) 1861 play of the same title by Imre Madách and follows Lucifer, Adam and Eve as they reincarnate in various eras, both historical and humanistic. Nearly 3 hours long, it consists of several segments, each with its own art style, appropriate to the depicted era: Genesis, where Lucifer seduces Adam and Eve. The animation style reflects an immaterial world, and uses vivid colors and shapeshifting forms. The Stone Age: The animation imitates book illustrations and also makes use of abstract elements and cave paintings towards the end. Ancient Egypt: The animation is styled after Egyptian pictures. Ancient Rome: Uses sculptures and moving mosaics. The European Middle Ages: Depicted in the form of animated pictures from the chronicles of the era. 17th century Prague: A sequence in the the style of woodcuts. The French Revolution. Victorian Britain (Anachronism Stew sort of). The actual future of Communism, with elements borrowed from some well-known Dystopias. A Transhuman future somewhere in space. Near The End of the World as We Know It, where degraded humans struggle for survival. Return to the Stone Age. Adam awakens from a dream.Needless to say, it's full of Mind Screw and Deranged Animation.See The Annunciation if you are looking for the live-action adaptation of Madách's play almost thirty years prior to this movie. Story has it that Jankovics decided to make an Animated Adaptation of the play after seeing that movie and left rather unimpressed. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| The Tragedy of Man (Animation) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: The Medieval segment switches back and forth between Crusades, late Middle Ages, and the Arian controversy. The Victorian segment, which was contemporary to Imre Madách, in the adaptation gradually transforms into The Roaring '20s and then into Turn of the Millennium. | |

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism | |
| The Tragedy of Man (Animation) / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: No matter what new ideal Adam chooses to follow next, Lucifer shows how it became corrupted and twisted by humanity. However no matter what, Eve always shows up to give Adam a new glimmer of hope. | |

Villain Has a Point | |
| The Tragedy of Man (Animation) / int_723be11b | comment |
Villain Has a Point: Lucifer ultimately dismisses all of Adam's idealistic beliefs with toxic, paralyzing rationality. What he fails to understand is that hope, which brings Adam the power to struggle, is irrational. | |

The Anti-God: Lucifer refers to himself as "the ancient spirit of negation" who has always stood in the way of God's work and claims that as such he had equal part in the Creation, and refuses to praise God for it. | |

Hypocrite | |
| The Tragedy of Man (Animation) / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: Lucifer dismisses the army of angels and spirits because they were created by God like "shadows born from light", and claims that he himself had been the dam of existence that forced God to create. He then proceeds to list opposite pairs such as matter and distance, life and death, happiness and sadness, and even light and shadow, to support this claim - completely missing that, by his own original statement, these were created by God! | |

| The Tragedy of Man (Animation) / int_d54f84cb | comment |
Dream Within a Dream: During the sequence in Prague, Adam (as Kepler) falls asleep. The sequence during the French Revolution takes place within this dream. This is the only sequence not "created" by Lucifer. When he wakes up, he finds himself in Prague again. | |

Hellhound: Lucifer in general, as well as some of his incarnations in particular. Especially the form he takes in Rome, inspired both by Cerberus from ancient myths and by the wolf from the legend of Romulus and Remus. | |

Animal Motifs | |
| The Tragedy of Man (Animation) / int_e2ccee25 | comment |
Animal Motifs: Interestingly the movie represents Lucifer with canines instead of any of the number of animals that're usually associated with him: his disembodied spirit form has canine facial features, in the Stone Age he takes the form of a domesticated wolf/the first dog, in Ancient Egypt he wears the jackal mask of the priests of Anubis, in Rome he transforms into a three-headed werewolf, each head designed after the famous statue of the shewolf that raised Romulus and Remus, in Medieval Europe his helmet has the head of a wolf as decoration, in Prague he has wolf paws instead of hands etc. | |

You Cannot Grasp the True Form | |
| The Tragedy of Man (Animation) / int_e5e07b2d | comment |
You Cannot Grasp the True Form: Two instances: Lucifer claims that he appears humanlike for Adam and Eve because the human form is the highest idea they can comprehend. The Spirit of Earth warns Lucifer that if she appeared in her true form on Earth, even he'd be forced to his knees and the two humans would be destroyed. | |
